Hey there everyone, my panther chameleon is almost 3 months old and I'd like him to get more comfortable with me. He hand feeds sometimes, but not all the time. The few times that he does eat out of my fingertips, he hesitates a lot lol When my hand gets close to him he doesn't run away or turn dark colors, which I assume means that he's not scared. He does, however, take a step back and just stare at me for a good while. Only when I put my hand under him will he occasionally climb on. When he does climb on me I try to put him down outside of his enclosure so that he can explore, but he remains frozen on my hand. What would you guys recommend I do for my little cham to be more comfortable? Should I refrain from trying to pick him up and just keep trying to associate my hand with food more? Or should I keep trying to get him on me so that he gets used to me? I'd greatly appreciate everyone's input!
